Alan Silva's playing and live composition have been a highlight of the avant garde's living history for the past 35+ years. From his work with Sun Ra's Arkestra, through extended relationships with Bill Dixon, Cecil Taylor, and Albert Ayler, on into the Celestial Communications Orchestra and the Frank Wright Center of the World Band, Silva has been one of the music's most consistently valuable thinkers.  A child of Alan Silva's other-worldly strategies for double bass, William Parker is the premier bassist of the post-Vietnam era.  A Hero's Welcome is a spontaneous composition dedicated to the spiritual essence of Sun Ra and to all the great string players of the 20th Century.  It was recorded at the first duo performance Silva and Parker undertook, and is the first installment of the Eremite Silva and Parker ongoing strings duo project, which among other things will entail at least one duo (or extended duo) recording by Silva and Parker for Eremite per year from now until the big O. Two full orchestras couldn't mix it up more completely.
